Testing out the all-day event type :)

So im running the windows vistia premium on my current home computer, latley I have been expiriencing a problem when shutting down. Weird thing is it does't happen all the time just 70% of the time. DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE, I was wondering if anyone could shed some light on the prob with some tips on what to do.

I've been screwing around with Linux on and off again for the last three years and I think it's time I take the plunge with Ubuntu 8 and it's braindead-easy installer.  There are really only TWO things that completely required for me to switch 100%:

1. Will it run full Photoshop CS3?
2. Will it run WoW (and some derivation of WoWAceUpdater)?

Mistrbook, I know that you're a linux geek and you've at least had wow and an addon updater running for the last few months.  Hit me with some feedback.
